[TheForge] Little Giant power hammer belt

Thu Mar 20 10:31:04 2003

Look on the ABANA website under "Resources" then under
"Supplier Search" type in "belting" you will get two listings.
the short cut to that page is here:
http://www.abana.org/resources/suppliers/suppliers.html
The "staples" are really called "lacing" those companys will
sell that as well. Buy more than you need because you might
screw up the first attempt at installing the lacing.
You could also do a GOOGLE search, http://google.com type
in "industrial belting" you will get about 30,000 answers. good luck.
